Sham Wow WTF!

Okay, I could talk all day about how I HATE this infomercial. Looks like the cancer that is ShamWow has spread to Costco and I took a pic of the box art. Is this supposed to entice me to buy it?
Look at this guy man, he looks like every single meth addict I have ever seen!
"I used to be addicted to meth, now I sell towels! You following this cameraman?"
I hope this doesn't lead to the Snuggy being sold in Costco!

IT'S A TRAP!

Saw this on the picnic table outside work first thing in the morning. It said "free" on it, but I wasn't going to take the chance! And I mean really? Kingwood? Sounds like a rip off Chinese brand of Kenwood. You aint tricking me! As Admiral Ackbar would say: "IT'S A TRAP!"

Hook em' While Their Young!

I like Obama too, but somehow this sign really kinda creeps me out. Babies should stay out of politics, they are so easily manipulated.

Some Things Don't Need Bulk Sales

I always thought it was a myth that you could buy condoms at Costco/Sams Club, but lo and behold they DO! A 40 pack for 8 bucks.
Wait, a 40 pack?!? Okay that is a big commitment don't you think? I would need to buy bulk bags of ice and a ton gatorade with that purchase.
(Maybe that is the conspiracy!)

My Old Blazer

Imagine my surprise when I went to Petersburg, VA, to find this guy had exactly the same year (94), model (Trailblazer 4.3 lt), and paint scheme of my old Chevy Blazer from high school. Brought a tear to my eye.

Microsoft Windows 3.11 For Workgroups

Found this OS in my closet from years and years ago when we used to use this at the office. Windows For Workgroups 3.11 introduced "advanced" networking features.

RedHat 7.1

Found this OS, RedHat 7.1, in my closet from years and years ago. I used to use this extensively for work and school back in the day. I also have RedHat 5.0 and a RedHat 4 somewhere at home laying around, but 7.1 and 7.2 were leaps and bounds above those versions.

Lori Dies

Lori dies. I managed to find a replacement battery and it appeared I had her resurrected. It required quite a bit of doing, including some not too pleasant soldering action. She managed to regain life and work for another two and a half days. Something blew in the power supply unrelated to the battery replacement. This produced a sad puff of smoke. It turned out to be a part I could not replace. The final poof of smoke indicated the ghost in the shell was gone. She passed away for the last time, September 27th 2008. This is to you Lori, the best girlfriend I ever had.

Rackspace Mini Cooper

Rackspace gave this Mini Cooper away to a lucky person in a drawing. The contestants were those who refereed new employees. If I recall correctly, it says "I won this car for referring brilliant people for Rackspace!"

Ugly Mug Coffee

Noticed this at the supermarket. The expressions of the people on these bags are hilarious. Literally they are of "ugly mugs" and that "just got out the bed" look. This is some smart advertising!

Interesting Tool

I never knew this tool existed. It is designed to paint a perfect line with just a regular can of spray paint. I am intrigued by its simplicity.

A New Friend

Dave thought this guy could use a tie. We thought he could then use some hair. Together, we have given life to an easily ignored piece of equipment.
